Eraser and Pencil (2017)

After the success of the movie Danur: I Can See Ghosts who penetrate the 2 million viewers and make it as Indonesia's best-selling horror film, MD Pictures then released a comedy film titled Stip & Pencil. Appointed director Ardy Octaviand who previously directed the film 3 Dara (2015), and the script was written by Joko Anwar. The four main stars in the film are Ernest Prakasa, Ardhit Erwandha, Indah Permatasari, and Tatjana Saphira.

Summary
The film begins with a theater drama in which the character Bubu (Tatjana Saphira) is introduced. Then came Toni (Ernest Prakasa), Aghi (Ardhit Erwandha), and Saras (Indah Permatasari) who were waiting for the memories from the drowsiness of the audience by performing hip-hop dance. They were also summoned by the principal for such indecent acts.

The core of the new story seems to be when the four of them want to prove themselves that they can win the social life-themed essay competition announced by Mr. Adam (Pandji Pragiwaksono). Another goal is to make Edwin (Rangga Azof) and friends not bully them again. The journey that brought TOGIBURAS (Toni, Aghi, Bubu, Saras) on Ucok characters (Pak Iqbal Sinchan), Mr. Toro (Arie Kriting), and Mak Rambe (Gita Bhebhita) for their efforts to build an emergency school for underprivileged children.

Joko Anwar proved to have a script he wrote always has its own power in any genre. This time the target on comedy is full of educational issues and social gaps. Through the atmosphere of community life in the slums, Joko managed to present a comedy that remains fresh with intelligent jokes. Just look at the Ernest part who drank tea on the terrace of Mr. Toro's house, the Mak Rambe section that always argued, or as simple as the newspaper "Daily Jakarta Weekly" which successfully made the audience laugh.

In the end the four friends managed to build an emergency school. The courage in making decisions that may be unpopular and acting strictly at their risk has no students to take with them, followed by the pride they feel when they see their one disciple manage to read one sentence.
